Study Notes
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Terminology
- Course instructor: A. Taha Demirbaş, Asst Prof
- Assessments: Two exams (midterm and final)
- Attendance: Compulsory (70%)
- Contact email: [email protected]
- Exams format: Multiple choice questions
Key Figures in Anatomy
- Hippocrates (460-377 BCE): Father of medicine, founder of anatomy, "Primum non nocere" (First, do no harm)
- Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564): Founder of modern anatomy, De humani corporis fabrica (Seven books on the structure of the human body)
Organization of the Human Body
- Organism composed of organ systems
- Organ systems composed of organs
- Organs composed of tissues
- Tissues composed of cells
- Organs work together to perform specific functions
What is Anatomy?
- The science of the body's shape and structure
- Examines the relationship between body organs' structure and function
- The term "anatomy" comes from the Greek words "ana" (up) and "tome" (cut), meaning dissection
- Latin equivalent: dissection
Anatomy Subdisciplines
- Macroanatomy (Gross Anatomy): Systemic anatomy (organ systems), Regional anatomy (body areas)
- Microanatomy: Histology (tissue anatomy), Cytology (cell anatomy)
- Further Subdivision (According to Education): Surgical Anatomy and Radiological Anatomy
Systemic Anatomy
- Skeletal System
- Muscular System
- Digestive System
- Respiratory System
- Cardiovascular System
- Reproductive System
- Urinary System
- Nervous System
- Circulatory System
Anatomical Position
- Upright posture, feet flat on the floor and together
- Arms at the sides, palms facing forward
- Head facing forward.
- Universal terminology for clear communication
Major Body Regions
- Axial region: Head, neck, trunk (thoracic and abdominal region)
- Appendicular region: Upper and lower limbs
- Upper limb: arm, forearm, hand
- Lower limb: thigh, leg, and foot
Body Cavities and Membranes
- Dorsal (posterior) cavities: Cranial cavity, Vertebral canal
- Ventral (anterior) cavities: Thoracic cavity (pleural cavities, pericardial cavity) & Abdominopelvic cavity (abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity)
Anatomical Planes
- Sagittal plane: Divides the body into right and left portions
- Median (midsagittal): Equal halves
- Parasagittal: Unequal halves
- Frontal (coronal) plane: Divides the body into anterior and posterior portions
- Transverse (horizontal) plane: Divides the body into superior and inferior portions
Directional Terminology
- Anatomists use directional terms to describe the position of one structure relative to another
- Examples: anterior, posterior, medial, lateral, superior, inferior, proximal, distal, superficial, deep, ipsilateral, contralateral
